The Wexford Junior Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition contested by lower-tier Wexford GAA clubs. It is the 4th tier of the Wexford GAA hurling championships. The Wexford County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association has organised it since 1903.
The all-time record-holders are Ferns St Aidan's, who have won the competition five times.
Horeswood are the title holders (2021) defeating Kilmore in the Final.
The Wexford Junior Hurling Championship dates back to 1903. It was the second championship to be established in Wexford following the Wexford Senior Hurling Championship in 1889.
No competition was held in 1906 or in 1915. There was also no competition between 1917 and 1923. No competition was held in 1925 either.[1]
Rathnure defeated Rapparees by 1-15 to 1-06 in the 2018 championship decider replay.[2]
Format
The series of games are played during the summer and autumn months with the county final currently being played in October. The championship features a group stage before the top-ranking teams complete a knock-out series of games.
Twelve clubs currently participate in the Wexford Junior Championship.
Honours
The Wexford Junior Championship is an integral part of the wider Leinster Junior Club Hurling Championship. The winners of the Wexford county final join the champions of the other hurling counties to contest the provincial championship. They often do well there with the likes of Fethard St Mogues among the clubs from Wexford to win at least one Leinster Championship after winning the Wexford Junior Hurling Championship.[3]
